Mad_parents_letter_Van_Halen_concert

Check out this letter written by a disgruntled parent who took their daughter to the Van Halen concert in Shreveport, Louisiana on this day in 1982. Priceless! Thanks to fellow fan Rodney Carr for digging this out of his collection.

Here’s a few ways we think the parent could have signed off on their letter:

“And I almost forgot to mention that the singer pointed right at my daughter and told her to stop sticking her tongue out at him unless she intended to use it!”

“P.S. Had a great time!”

“P.S. Anybody know where I can get tickets to tomorrow night’s show?”

Help us flesh out the Top Ten Ending Lines to this letter! We’ll feature the best ones in a future post.
